About this Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy describes the privacy practices of Arkham Intelligence, Inc. (“Arkham,”) , and the Arkham Foundation (“the Foundation”) (collectively, “we,” “us” and “our”), and how we collect, use, and disclose personal data on our platform (collectively, the “Services”). We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time, as detailed below. You should not use the Services if you have any objections to our Privacy Policy, which is binding upon all users of the Services. If you have a question about how your personal data is being used, you can contact us through the methods provided in the “Contact Us” section at the end of this Privacy Policy.
First, here are a few key points about Arkham’s and the Foundation’s privacy practices:
What Do We Mean by “personal data”?
Personal data is information that identifies, relates to, describes, is capable of being associated with, or could reasonably be linked, directly or indirectly, with a particular individual or household. Personal data that is publicly available, processing in connection with journalistic purposes or expression or a matter of public concern, aggregated, or de-identified is not considered personal data for the purposes of this Privacy Policy.
What Personal Data Do We Collect and How Do We Collect It?
Information you provide us.
Personal data you may provide to us through the Services includes:
Intel Marketplace. Our platform provides a web app interface for users to interact with the Arkham Intel Exchange, a decentralized smart contract system, to facilitate—between users—the exchange of information, potentially including personal data, about individuals who are not users of the Services (“non-users”). In these instances, we may not know how or from where the personal data was originally collected. Personal data collected about non-users may come from a variety of internet or other sources. This information could include: non-users’ personal identifiers and the details of non-users’ blockchain transactions, including current and historical point-in-time holdings; balance history and historical profit and loss; and transaction history. The Foundation processes this personal data of non-users when it uses its proprietary technology to verify a user’s intelligence. The Foundation may contract the Company to provide services related to the Intel Exchange which may involve the Company processing Intel Exchange data.
Third party sources. We may combine personal data we receive from or about you with information we obtain from other sources, such as:
Automatic data collection. We, our service providers, and our business partners may automatically log information about you, your computer or mobile device, and your interaction over time with the Services, our communications, and other online services, such as:
Cookies and similar technologies. We may use the following technologies:
We also use pixels. These pixels may provide us and third parties with information regarding how users interact with video content, audiovisual content, or content of a like nature (collectively, “Video Content”). Video Content is provided for the purpose of enhancing the user experience on the Services. By continuing to use the Services and interacting with Video Content, you understand that your personal information, including your video viewing history, may be processed and disclosed according to this privacy policy.
Job Applicant Information. When you apply for employment with us, we may collect certain personal data from you for the purpose of evaluating your candidacy for a particular position. The information collected for these purposes may include:
We only use your personal data to assess your skills and experience in relation to the applicable job requirements. We may also use your personal data to contact you during the hiring process.
In certain circumstances, you may submit your application for employment through a third-party service that displays our job posting. We do not control the privacy practices of these third-party services. Please review their privacy policies carefully prior to submitting your application materials.
How Do We Use Personal Data?
We use personal data for the following purposes or as otherwise described at the time of collection:
Services delivery, including to:
Research and development. We may create and use anonymous, aggregated, or de-identified information for our business purposes, including to analyze the effectiveness of our Services, to improve and add features to our Services, and to analyze the general behavior and characteristics of users of our Services. We may use this anonymous, aggregated, or de-identified data and share it with third parties for our lawful business purposes.
Support and maintenance. We use third party analytics services to automatically log certain information about your device and how you interact with the Services. The information collected is used to troubleshoot and prevent errors, perform data analysis, and enhance the Services, and develop new features.
Compliance and protection. We may use personal data to:
Direct marketing. We may send you marketing communications via text message and/or email as permitted by law. You will have the ability to opt-out of our marketing and promotional communications as described in the “Opt-out of marketing communications and other push notifications” section below.
Interest-based advertising. We may engage advertising partners, including third party advertising companies and social media companies, to advertise our and our customers’ and partners’ Services. We and our advertising partners may use cookies and similar technologies to collect information about your interaction (including the data described in the “Cookies and similar technologies” section above) over time across the web, our communications, and other online services, and use that information to serve online ads. You can learn more about your choices for limiting interest-based advertising in the “Online tracking opt-out” section below.
How Do We Share Personal Data?
We may share personal data with:
Service providers. Companies and individuals that provide services on our behalf or help us operate the Services or our business (such as hosting, analytics, customer support, email and SMS delivery and email verification and deliverability services, payment services, and identity verification services).
Professional advisors. Professional advisors, such as lawyers, auditors, bankers, and insurers, where necessary in the course of the professional services that they render to us.
Authorities and others. Law enforcement, government authorities, and private parties as we believe necessary to: (a) protect our, your, or others’ rights, privacy, safety, or property (including by making and defending legal claims); (b) enforce the Terms and Conditions and Terms of Service that govern the Services; and (c) protect, investigate, and deter against fraudulent, harmful, unauthorized, unethical, or illegal activity.
Business transferees. Acquirers and other relevant participants in business transactions (or negotiations for such transactions) involving a corporate divestiture, merger, consolidation, acquisition, reorganization, sale, or other disposition of all or any portion of the business or assets of, or equity interests in, Arkham or our affiliates (including, in connection with a bankruptcy or similar proceedings).
Third-party platforms and social media networks. If you have enabled features or functionality that connect the Services to a third-party platform or social media network (such as by logging into Arkham using your account with a third-party, providing your API key or similar access token for the Services to a third-party, or otherwise linking your account with the Services to a third-party’s services), we may disclose the personal data that you authorized us to share. We do not control the third-party platforms’ use of your personal data, which is governed by that third party’s privacy policy and terms and conditions.
We may facilitate the exchange of personal information about non-users by our users via the Arkham Intel Exchange on the platform, such as between bounty posters and bounty hunters, or between intel merchants and intel collectors.
Public Posting Areas and Community Chat Features
Please note that any personal data you include in the community chat feature on the platform or within the free text field, or elsewhere in the Services, is available to anyone with access to the platform or Services. If you don't want people to know your email address, for example, don't include it in a community chat message or in any free text fields. PLEASE BE EXTREMELY CAREFUL WHEN DISCLOSING ANY PERSONAL DATA IN THE PLATFORM'S COMMUNITY CHAT FEATURE OR FREE TEXT FIELDS, OR ELSEWHERE IN THE SERVICES. WE ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THE USE BY OTHERS OF THE PERSONAL DATA THAT YOU DISCLOSE IN THE PLATFORM’S COMMUNITY CHAT FEATURE OR THE FREE TEXT FIELDS, OR ELSEWHERE IN THE SERVICES.
Third-Party Links
The Services may contain links to social media websites and other online services operated by third parties. In addition, our content may be integrated into web pages or other online services that are not associated with us. These links and integrations are not an endorsement of, or representation that we are affiliated with, any third party. We do not control websites or online services operated by third parties, and we are not responsible for their actions. We encourage you to review their privacy policies to understand how they handle personal data.
Children’s Personal Data
The Services are not intended for use by children under 16 years of age. If we learn that we have collected personal data through the Services from a child under 16 without the verifiable consent of the child’s parent or guardian as required by law, we will delete it.
Security and Data Retention
We employ a number of reasonable technical, organizational, and physical safeguards designed to protect the personal data we collect. However, no security measures are failsafe, and we cannot guarantee the security of your personal data due to the inherent risks of data transmission over the Internet. Consequently, we cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us, and you understand that any information that you transfer to us is done at your own risk. If we learn of a security system breach, we may attempt to notify you so that you can take appropriate protective steps. By using the Services or providing personal data to us, you agree that we can communicate with you, including electronically, regarding security, privacy and administrative issues relating to your use of the Services. We may post a notice on the Services if a security breach occurs. We may also send an email to you at the email address you have provided to us in these circumstances. Depending on where you live, you may have a legal right to receive notice of a security breach in writing.
We will retain your personal data for as long as needed to fulfill the purpose for which it is collected and to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements.
International Data Transfers
We are headquartered in the United States with employees, affiliates, and services providers that operate in other countries. If you choose to provide us with personal data, we may transfer that personal data to our affiliates and subsidiaries or to other third parties, in accordance with local law. We may also transfer your personal data across borders, from your country or jurisdiction to other countries or jurisdictions, including the United States, which may not provide the same level of protection for your personal data as your home country. By using the Service, you agree to this data transfer.
Your Privacy Choices
Update or delete. You can contact us to ask us to update or correct your personal data. You may also delete your account or your contacts’ phone numbers from our active systems. Please note that we will need to verify that you have the authority to delete the account and certain activity generated prior to deletion may remain stored by us and may be shared with third parties as detailed in this Privacy Policy.
Disconnect social media companies. When you connect your social media accounts to Arkham, we notify those platforms. You may disconnect your social media accounts directly on the Services at any time.
Opt-out of marketing communications and other push notifications. You may opt out of marketing-related communications by following the opt out or unsubscribe instructions contained in the marketing communication we send you. You may opt out of other notifications we may send you via push notification by changing the settings on your mobile device.
Online tracking opt-out. There are a number of ways to limit online tracking, which we have summarized below:
Note that because these opt out mechanisms are specific to the device or browser on which they are exercised, you will need to opt out on every browser and device that you use.
Do Not Track. Some Internet browsers may be configured to send “Do Not Track” signals to the online services that you visit. We currently do not respond to "Do Not Track" or similar signals. To find out more about "Do Not Track," please visit http://www.allaboutdnt.com.
California “Shine the Light” Law. If a company shares personal data of California residents with third parties for their marketing purposes (e.g., to send offers and information that may be of interest to you), California law requires either providing a mechanism by which consumers can obtain more information about such sharing over the prior calendar year or providing a mechanism by which consumers can opt out of such sharing. We do not share your personal data with third parties for their direct marketing purposes.
Nevada Disclosure. Residents of Nevada have the right to opt out of the sale of certain personal data to third parties. We currently do not sell your personal data as defined by Nevada law.
